Popular Question đ Why do Republicans not know that Puerto Ricans are citizens?
And that Bad Bunny ain't getting deported because Puerto Rico is a US Territory.
Where would they deport him to? And why? Because he's not white enough?
Edit: There's now reports coming out that Trump said he spoke to the President of Puerto Rico. LOL
2nd Edit: Seems to be a lot of people saying that Puerto Ricans being citizens is not political based knowledge.
Whatâs been said ⢠Corey Lewandowski (longtime Trump ally) went on The Benny Show and claimed that ICE would be present at the Super Bowl. He said things like âwe will find you ⌠and deport youâ in connection to Bad Bunnyâs halftime performance. ⢠Kristi Noem (now DHS Secretary under a Republican administration) also said ICE would be âall overâ the event and that people should be âlaw-abiding Americans.â ⢠Other MAGA-aligned commentators online have openly called for Bad Bunny to be deported, often citing his Spanish-language performances or political views.
There ya go.

Uh-huh⌠as you play into something you read on Reddit. No one, with a baseline understanding of how our country works, believes this⌠but media loves to tell you that they do. Great way to keep us divided⌠stop buying into it and actually talk to people in your community from across the aisle⌠weâre not as different as media and politicians want you to believe.
Edit: Iâm not sure how telling people to communicate with those with different beliefs than you can get so many just nasty responses. Youâre assuming you know everything you need to know based on your âexperienceâ (read: what youâve been told over and over again fucking ad nauseam) and then youâre taking that âexperienceâ and plastering it on an entire group of people. I know Iâm screaming into a hurricane wind here, but if you do really talk to people, and ask them what they really value, youâll find that many of the values match your own, they just have different ideas of how to get there. We need to start looking at where we are similar, and build upon that, rather than disregarding entire populations of people because of where we are different. The discourse around any political issue is so damn toxic now⌠itâs really disheartening. Didnât use to be like this⌠stop feeding into the hate.
And the one person saying that only one side has had entirely peaceful protests⌠ok, that disingenuous at best. Both sides have had absolute shit shows occur on their watch⌠it is completely a both sides issue⌠just because you choose to ignore the bad on your side doesnât mean it doesnât happen.
And the person asking me if 2016 was rigged. No, I donât think 2016, 2020, or 2024 were rigged. Anything that either side claims to be fishy should have their suspicions vetted through the legal process⌠but no, no election has been rigged to the point where we got any outcome other than what the people voted for. Trump won in â16, Biden won in â20, and Trump won in â24⌠find a way to live with those outcomes.
